If you driving a automatic car, do you know how to drive a manual? Do you remember who taught you to drive?

I have always driven automatic. I always wanted to learn stick but no one would ever teach me. I think I am better off with auto anyway, what with the baby and the dog and trying to keep everyone calm...

I drive an automatic. My best friend was a year older than me and she taught me how to drive her manual when I was 16. I haven't done it in so long I'm not sure I would be able to now.

my vehicle is an automatic however I do have the ability to drive a standard. My dad would not let me get my driver's license unless I could drive a standard.

My Dad taught me to drive. I drive an automatic truck. I came real close to getting a stick shift, but changed my mind at the last minute. Mainly because I drive in-town and it's a pain to have to manually change gears between each redlight.
